When you hear that a book was terrible & you want to rewrite it from a different point of view but you don't want to read the book because you heard it sucked that badly
#my year of rest and relaxation#is the book im talking about#mikky speaks#like i heard the protagonist was really unlikable and super privileged and annoying#and all i can think of is there is a way to make the premise of the book work in a more down to earth way#like i work night shifts at a warehouse so i can understand wanting to sleep away for a year#but i need to know more about the story before i try to write it from my perspective

Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?

"Critiques of mainstream feminism tend to get more attention when they come from outside, but the reality is that the internal conflicts are how feminism grows and becomes more effective. One of the biggest issues with mainstream feminist writing has been the way the idea of what constitutes a feminist issue is framed. We rarely talk about basic needs as a feminist issue. Food insecurity and access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. Instead of a framework that focuses on helping women get basic needs met, all too often the focus is not on survival but on increasing privilege. For a movement that is meant to represent all women, it often centers on those who already have most of their needs met."

Reading Recommendations for Women's Equality Day
Exploring Women's Suffrage Through 50 Historic Treasures by Jessica D. Jenkins
From hunger strikes to massive parades, the American women's suffrage movement grabbed the attention of citizens and politicians around the U.S. Posters, lapel buttons, and even luncheonette plates carried the iconic phrase, "Votes for Women." Today, museums, libraries, universities, and historic sites across the country care for the objects and places that tell the story of suffrage. This book brings together a selection of these cultural gems.
Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall
Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it's women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall argues, when some women are oppressing others?
New Women in the Old West by Winifred Gallagher
From 1840-1910, hundreds of thousands of men and women traveled deep into the underdeveloped American West, lured by the prospect of adventure and opportunity. Alongside this rapid expansion of the U.S., a second, overlapping social shift was also taking place, as women began to take on some of the same responsibilities as their husbands. In this account, Gallagher brings to life the riveting history of the little-known women who played monumental roles in one of America's most transformative periods.
Suffrage by Ellen Carol DuBois
This exciting history explores the full scope of the movement to win the vote for women through portraits of its bold leaders and devoted activists. Distinguished historian Ellen Carol DuBois begins in the pre-Civil War years with foremothers Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Sojourner Truth before following women’s efforts to use their voting rights to win political office, increase their voting strength, and pass laws banning child labor, ensuring maternal health, and securing greater equality for women.

She taught me to be critical of any ideology that claimed to know best if those espousing it didn't listen to me about what I wanted, much less needed. She taught me distrust. What progressives who ignore history don't understand is that just like racism is taught, so is distrust. Especially in households like mine, where parents and grandparents who had lived through Jim Crow, COINTELPRO, Reaganomies, and the "war on drugs" talked to their children early and often about how to stay out of trouble. When the cops harassed you, but didn't bother to actually protect and serve when violence broke out between neigh-bors, lectures from outsiders on what was wrong with our culture and community weren't what was needed. What we needed was the economic and racial privilege we lacked to be put to work to protect us. Being skeptical of those who promise they care but do nothing to help those who are marginalized is a life skill that can serve you well when your identity makes you a target. There's no magic shield in being middle class that can completely insulate you from the consequences of being in a body that's already been criminalized for existing.

The Womanist Answer
According to the Black Metropolis Research Consortium, "Womanism is a term used to refer to feminists of color, more specifically Black feminists. Womanism centers the experiences, contributions and efforts of Black feminists to better the world around them for all of humanity, not just themselves." but how does this differ from feminism?
Feminism refers to a range of political and social movements and ideologies based on the belief that women should have the same rights, opportunities as men, and be treated the same way.
Feminism focuses on the equality of the sexes while womanism focuses not only on equality of the sexes but also racism and classism.
Mainstream feminism has extremely narrow barriers that doesn't account for other forms of liberation, it expects all women to aspire to what a liberated white cis heterosexual middle class woman might look like.
In her Ted Talk, "The Dangers of Western Feminism to African Women" Elma Akob states, "The manner in which feminism is defined with such strict borders that do not accommodate tradition - the fact that African culture is looked down upon as oppressive and the fact that women who choose to be housewives are seen as less and the fact that cancel culture doesn't allow us to have a broad overview on the subject of feminism."
Most black women do not identify as feminists and have even asked the question, "what has feminism done for me?" Growing up learning a commercialized version of the suffrage movement and the revival in the 60's I used to not understand how someone could ask this question but what I didn't recognize is the many intersections black women have that doesn't give them the privilege to benefit from mainstream feminism.
In her book, "Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot" Mikki Kendall writes, "Feminism as a career is the province of the privileged; it's hard to read books on feminist theory while you're working in a hair salon or engaged in the kinds of jobs that put food on the table but also demand a lot of physical and mental energy."
Womanism gives black women a place to be heard without feeling like our words will be overlooked or framed as hurting other peoples feelings. So often black women have had to reframe and refine their approach to discussing their issues because we're afraid that we'll come off as the "Angry black woman" who's loud and obnoxious.
Hopefully in the future womanism will be a more mainstream or more known movement parallel to feminism.

How to Navigate the Fraught Weight of Whiteness in Intersectionality
From Jenni's Space https://wp.me/paOI8y-tA
How to Navigate the Fraught Weight of Whiteness in Intersectionality
Intersectionality is Hard for White Folk
White people carry the power of white privilege in every conversation on intersectionality. And in all Western spaces, white privilege weighs more than any other privilege. It is heavier than male privilege, wealth and power privileges, able-bodied privilege, neurotypical privilege — you name it, white privilege is heavier.
And that means that our whiteness, because it exists, makes our impact on a conversation larger. Outsized. All out of proportion. We can’t rely on intent to balance it. We must consciously and consistently consider it when weighing in (pun very much intended).
And the fact that intersectionality is hard for white people doesn’t give us a pass. In fact, it does the exact opposite. It gives us an obligation.
First, Take the Time to Listen
One of the best things any white person can do in any conversation about human rights is to listen before speaking. And I don’t mean the sort of listening that waits for a space in the conversation to interject. I mean listen. Allow yourself to learn. Allow your biases to unfold and be challenged. Do. Not. Speak. Intersectionality is complex. There are endless variables involved. Age and gender. Sexual and gender orientation. Neurodiversity and disability. Wealth and power (and the lack thereof). Religion and culture. And above all, race. Before interjecting your whiteness, listen to all of these concerns.
Intersectionality ensures as many people at the table as possible
Second, Value Support Over Leadership
If you’re white, you’re used to having your opinions valued and prioritized. In intersectional conversations, your role is often going to be supporting someone else in their opinion versus voicing your own. Redirect the conversation back to the expert on the topic. Defend their point with the authority of your whiteness and any other privileges you have. Respect requests to step back and reflect. In the battle to win and expand human rights, those of us whose privilege is so powerful it overrides the rights of other must cede the center in order for the focus to shift. We should always be conscious of this.
Third, Accept the Consequences of Privilege-Blindness
You are likely to be wrong. Sometimes, publicly wrong. And you might find yourself at the bottom of a pile-on. And that’s part of the work of being an advocate for human rights. It is also a consequence of the weight of whiteness. It is often more urgent, when considering intersectionality, to leaven the weight of whiteness than to educate you. Your feelings and thoughts will sometimes be put aside in favor of the larger goal.
Fourth, Make the Effort to Learn
If there’s one complaint I hear more than any other from marginalized people in my circles it’s “I’m sick and tired of being asked for a free education”. If you want to learn about racism or transphobia or ableism or ageism, read. Buy books or check them out from the library. Follow creators in those populations on social media and do nothing but listen. Listen to audio books. Take college courses. Pay your teachers. The resource tab of this website contains lists of resources on various aspects of mental health and human rights. Feel free to explore them. Some authors to start with are Ijeoma Oluo, Mikki Kendall, and Ta-Nehisi Coates. (Links are to Amazon. Buy their books).
A lot of the 101-level content for privileged people is provided by other privileged people in order to relieve some of this burden. That is what I’m doing here. So finding well-regarded allies like Jane Elliott and Robin DiAngelo and others and reading what they have to say might be a good start.
Fifth, Remember that Intersectionality Affects All Populations
No group is a monolith. In fact, that’s what “intersectionality” means. While we talk about “Black culture” or “feminism” or “queer culture”, it would be more accurate to say “Black cultures”, “feminisms” and “queer cultures”. At any given time there are as many debates going on within groups as between them. Just because one person in a group agrees with you doesn’t mean that you’re right. It’s important to use critical thinking and seek out multiple points of view in order to contribute more effectively.
Finally, Focus on the Goal
It is uncomfortable to shift your point of view. Becoming a side character versus a leading role is hard, too. And whatever you’re working on, your shift to one of many is essential. One of the biggest hurdles for white people in intersectional spaces is the wave of feeling that overcomes us as we deal with situations that we didn’t experience growing up and believed would only happen to others. There is some evidence that it is more common for queer folk and neurodiverse folk to do the work to become allies for work on racial issues. It’s likely due to the fact that queer folk and neurodivergent folk, even when white, grow up being “not the default” in at least one area of their lives growing up.
The goal of learning how to get your whiteness out of the way when working with intersectional groups is to improve human rights for every human. We seek to make a better world not for some, but for all. We are building community with roots deep in the past and with thoughts toward several generations into the future. Because of this focus, not only do we improve the world for its human inhabitants, but for its non-human ones.
Let go of your fear and uncertainty, listen, learn and contribute to the many conversations that are going on. Be a force for the world you want to see. It’s all worth the work in the end.
As always, if you are part of the vast human rights movement and think that I’ve gotten something wrong here, feel free to comment. I do not open my space to people who don’t support human rights, so if that’s your concern, debate it elsewhere.
A special shoutout to Kat and Kathy and L Kate and Asim and Lashonda and Tonya and Alecia and Monica and Sonny and Ibrihim and Cindy (today!) and all the other friends of color who have generously told me when I’m being a jerk (or a racist) over the years. It’s greatly appreciated.

"In the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa, colorism has roots in colonialism and slavery, but in some cultures, it predates any contact with European beauty ideals and may be more related to class than to white supremacy. Laborers tanned as they worked outdoors, while the privileged had lighter complexions because they were inside. Socially, dark skin became associated with poverty and light skin with the aristocracy. Today, the premium on light skin in parts of Asia is likely tangled up with this history, along with cultural influences of the Western world that also positioned “rednecks” at the lower end of the social strata of whiteness for similar reasons."

Powerful Books on Racial Justice for MLK Day

Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man by Emmanuel Acho
“You cannot fix a problem you do not know you have.” So begins Emmanuel Acho in his essential guide to the truths Americans need to know to address the systemic racism that has recently electrified protests in all fifty states. “There is a fix,” Acho says. “But in order to access it, we’re going to have to have some uncomfortable conversations.”
In Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man, Acho takes on all the questions, large and small, insensitive and taboo, many white Americans are afraid to ask—yet which all Americans need the answers to, now more than ever. With the same open-hearted generosity that has made his video series a phenomenon, Acho explains the vital core of such fraught concepts as white privilege, cultural appropriation, and “reverse racism.”
In his own words, he provides a space of compassion and understanding in a discussion that can lack both. He asks only for the reader’s curiosity—but along the way, he will galvanize all of us to join the antiracist fight.
Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall
Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?
Lifting as We Climb: Black Women's Battle for the Ballot Box by Evette Dionne
For African American women, the fight for the right to vote was only one battle.
An eye-opening book that tells the important, overlooked story of black women as a force in the suffrage movement--when fellow suffragists did not accept them as equal partners in the struggle.
Susan B. Anthony. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Alice Paul. The Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls. The 1913 Women's March in D.C. When the epic story of the suffrage movement in the United States is told, the most familiar leaders, speakers at meetings, and participants in marches written about or pictured are generally white.
The real story isn't monochromatic.
Women of color, especially African American women, were fighting for their right to vote and to be treated as full, equal citizens of the United States. Their battlefront wasn't just about gender. African American women had to deal with white abolitionist-suffragists who drew the line at sharing power with their black sisters. They had to overcome deep, exclusionary racial prejudices that were rife in the American suffrage movement. And they had to maintain their dignity--and safety--in a society that tried to keep them in its bottom ranks.
Lifting as We Climb is the empowering story of African American women who refused to accept all this. Women in black church groups, black female sororities, black women's improvement societies and social clubs. Women who formed their own black suffrage associations when white-dominated national suffrage groups rejected them. Women like Mary Church Terrell, a founder of the National Association of Colored Women and of the NAACP; or educator-activist Anna Jullia Cooper who championed women getting the vote and a college education; or the crusading journalist Ida B. Wells, a leader in both the suffrage and anti-lynching movements.
Author Evette Dionne, a feminist culture writer and the editor-in-chief of Bitch Media, has uncovered an extraordinary and underrepresented history of black women. In her powerful book, she draws an important historical line from abolition to suffrage to civil rights to contemporary young activists--filling in the blanks of the American suffrage story.
His Truth Is Marching On: John Lewis and the Power of Hope by Jon Meacham, John Lewis (Afterword)
John Lewis, who at age twenty-five marched in Selma, Alabama, and was beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, is a visionary and a man of faith. Drawing on decades of wide-ranging interviews with Lewis and deep research into the history of the civil rights movement, Jon Meacham writes of how this great-grandson of a slave and a son of an Alabama tenant farmer was inspired by the Bible and his teachers in nonviolence, Reverend James Lawson and Martin Luther King, Jr., to put his life on the line in the service of what Abraham Lincoln called "the better angels of our nature." A believer in hope above all else, Lewis learned from a young age that nonviolence was not only a tactic but a philosophy, a biblical imperative, and a transforming reality. At the age of four, Lewis, ambitious to become a minister, practiced by preaching to his family's chickens. When his mother cooked one of the chickens, the boy refused to eat it--his first act, he wryly recalled, of nonviolent protest. Integral to Lewis's commitment to bettering the nation was his faith in humanity and in God--and an unshakable belief in the power of hope.
Meacham calls Lewis "as important to the founding of a modern and multiethnic twentieth- and twenty-first-century America as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and Samuel Adams were to the initial creation of the nation-state in the eighteenth century. He did what he did--risking limb and life to bear witness for the powerless in the face of the powerful--not in spite of America, but because of America, and not in spite of religion, but because of religion." In many ways Lewis made his vision a reality, and his example offers Americans today a map for social and political change.

“When I first met the writer Gail Simone, I made her gluten-free triple-chocolate cupcakes as a gift. While we were talking that day, she asked if I was interested in writing comics. The comics industry is a white, male-dominated space, and Gail could have treated the niche she has carved out for herself as something to defend from other women. Instead when I said yes, she went out of her way to help me get into the industry. I’ve since learned that she does this pretty often. She knows she has power and privilege and she uses it to help others whenever she can. Sometimes being a good ally is about opening the door for someone instead of insisting that your voice is the only one that matters.”
Mikki Kendall. “Hood Feminism.” Apple Books.
I’m actually really happy to hear or rather read this. I get that part of it is a symptom of this oppressive system that tells marginalized people that there can only be one, but I’m always relieved to hear stories about people who make it a point not to pull up the ladder once they’ve gotten where they want to be.
